Coutinho: Liverpool in a race with Man City - we must win
I conducted a poll this week asking fans if Lovren should replace Klavan for the Man City game, and 56% of participants voted NO. You are wrong", he said. "I feel supporters still think I'm the right person in the right place so we feel that trust and faith".

Kalanick praised Jones' contributions to Uber, including the company's "first brand reputation study, which will help set our course in the coming months and year".

Jones is the latest to quit the company after a string of high profile exits including that of Amit Singhal who was asked to resign because of a sexual harassment allegation against hime in his previous job at Alphabet Inc's Google.

The controversies have cast doubt even among Uber's oldest investors on Kalanick's ability to lead a company valued at $70 billion with plans to go public in the next few years.

And earlier this month Uber confirmed it had used a secret technology program dubbed "Greyball", which effectively changes the app view for specific riders, to evade authorities in cities where the service has been banned. It is unclear whether the new position influenced Jones' decision, as he oversaw operations as president and was second only Kalanick.
